Day 150 - Winter has come

Very cold last night, -4 (or 25 Fahrenheit for my American readers) according to the weather report. Was sleeping in a shelter, inside my sleeping bag wearing all my clothes. I wasn't cold but wasn't warm either, just uncomfortably not-warm. My water bottle partially froze, I'll have to start keeping it with me inside my sleeping bag (I'm already doing that for anything that uses a battery).

It is also very cold during the day. My gloves are not up to the task as my fingers are getting very cold as I hike along. I ended up putting the poles away so I could ball my hands into fists inside the gloves to keep the fingers warm.

Called a shuttle at the end of the day to go into Chambersburg. Going to replace my gloves and buy some more layers to sleep in.

As I waited for the shuttle I enjoyed a very American meal of brisket, baked beans, and Mac and cheese at 65 South BBQ restaurant. Incredibly tasty. The guy assured me it is as an American meal as you can get.Read more
